Chopping Axe, Hand Axe, Camp Hatchet for Splitting Kindling and Chopping Branches, Wood Chopping Axe 5.5 lb with 36-in Fiberglass Handle (L)

almost exactly like a splitting maul I already have.Edge and taper are not optimal for chopping

The media could not be loaded.  So I just got this axe today, spent the last hour splitting wood with it and I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised by this one.First off I was half expecting the handle to break in the first few swings. After using it for a little while I have no worries of that happening anymore, this thing is sturdy.Comparing this axe to others that are more than double the price, you can't go wrong with this one. Costs a fraction of the price and does the exact same job. This axe goes through wood like it's a hot knife in butter.The handle is long enough and light enough that this axe takes minimal effort to swing, and still gives the same results.I highly recommend this axe to anyone that even thinks they might have to split some wood. It's one of the lowest prices on Amazon and there is nothing cheap about the build quality. 110% satisfied customer.
